Even Robbie “Rangzen” Barnett of Columbia argues that “cultural genocide” is a misleading term, given the Chinese government’s lack of animus toward Tibetans as a people; it is only insofar as contemporary Tibetan culture has taken on an existential insistence on an independent homeland (which, let’s be honest, is what calls for “true autonomy” really amount to in practice if not in name) that the Chinese government has come to be wary of it, particular where it intersects with religion.

How about Tibetans culturally colonizing the Chinese in turn? After all, what we’re really talking about is a battle of ideas, in the marketplace of ideas. Same as, in time, the Manchus became sinicized, it’s conceivable that, at least to some important degree, with time Chinese might also become “Tibetanized” — witness the Shangri-La kind of fascination even Chinese have about Tibet…and let’s not forget that many, many Chinese actually practice Tibetan Buddhism, too.
